Known as “Yankee Princess” and “UN Madame,” women who were sexual laborers for the US military Camptowns, filed a lawsuit against Korean government and called themselves “US Military Comfort Women.” Chasing forgotten voices and erased traces, this film tells you a story about comfort women system in Korea, which have lasted since World War II.

“In Korea, Comfort Women doesn’t only mean Japanese military comfort women.” It is part of a statement written by the US military Comfort Women plaintiff group. This short sentence came as a cry of women who had lived through the prejudice and contempt of people for a long time. How do we come up with Japanese military comfort women at once when we are told Comfort Women? I decide to follow their trace and story through this film as well as to find out where our eyes are upon about “Comfort Women.”
